Hello.
No obvious signs of a procedure, only a prettier look!
I’m Lee Mira, CEO Director of Vani Plastic Surgery | Skin Clinic.
Ultherapy pricing varies quite a lot from clinic to clinic.
Based on 300 shots of Ultherapy, the price is roughly 1 million won to 2 million won, so even with the same number of shots, there can be a difference of about 1 million won. Compared with clinics in Cheongdam, the difference can be more than 1 million won.

If I share my personal opinion on this,
for any cosmetic procedure, it is best to go to a medical institution with a reasonable price that fits your budget.
In fact, procedure costs vary greatly depending on the clinic’s fixed expenses. In addition, they also differ according to each director’s convictions and values.
In my case, I wanted to create a hospital that provides high-quality medical services at a reasonable cost, and that is why Vani is unusually affordable for Gangnam.
| For reference, we have prepared an event where you can receive Ultherapy 300 shots for 690,000 won for just one month in July. We heard from our customers that many people hesitate because they want to try Ultherapy but have heard things like, “I heard it doesn’t work” or “It’s more disappointing than expected.” For those people, we wanted to lower the barrier to access and help them experience firsthand what results are possible when Ultherapy is done properly. If this is your first time trying Ultherapy, or if you did not get enough results before, I hope you will take this opportunity to receive a “proper Ultherapy procedure.” . 😊 |

Still, the price alone should not be the only reasonable factor, right?
As you may know, Ultherapy is the most powerful among ultrasound lifting treatments, so if the procedure is done incorrectly, the impact of side effects can be significant.
That is why, when choosing an Ultherapy clinic, it is better to compare prices after ruling out medical institutions whose systems make it likely that the treatment will be ineffective or cause side effects.
So, what are the characteristics of clinics with a high likelihood of ineffectiveness and side effects?
Yes, today I’d like to explain this in detail.
As a dermatologist who knows the industry’s behind-the-scenes realities better than anyone, I’ll begin by sharing the criteria I would use if I had to choose a dermatology clinic for Ultherapy elsewhere.
Practical Criteria for Choosing an Ultherapy Dermatology Clinic, From a Dermatology Director
- A clinic with enough procedure time available

I think there is no such thing as a simple procedure.
Some people say, “Isn’t Botox simple?” But that is not true at all.
You have to accurately understand the anatomical structure of the muscles and determine the injection points and dosage while considering each person’s muscle development and facial expression habits. Ultherapy is even more so.
That is why, first of all, it is truly important that the medical staff performing the procedure are not rushed for time.
Because this is directly connected to safety and results.

For example, if you look at so-called “factory-style clinics,” they try to handle many patients at a low unit price, so the turnover is extremely fast.
Naturally, the time the medical staff and the patient face each other has no choice but to decrease.
In fact, with a few exceptions, both major and minor accidents, including vision loss, have occurred at factory-style network clinics. Of course, there may be issues with the medical staff’s skill, but I believe there have been more cases where accuracy was lost because they were rushed for time.

What problems arise in an Ultherapy procedure when it is rushed for time?
First, the likelihood of failing to target the correct anatomical layer increases.
Ultherapy must precisely deliver energy at different depths: 1.5 mm, 3.0 mm, and 4.5 mm. But when rushed, it becomes easy to just say, “Around here, more or less...” and move on.

Second, there is not enough time to properly assess each person’s skin thickness or fat layer distribution, so the effect decreases, and the risk of burns or nerve damage increases.
That is why, even if it costs a little more than a factory-style clinic, if you want safe and reliable results, it is better to go to a hospital where enough procedure time is secured.
- A clinic where the design process is done while seated
This is truly basic, but it is something some clinics overlook.
There are quite a few places where the pre-procedure design is done while lying down.

What problem is there when the design is done while lying down?
First, due to gravity, our face looks completely different when lying down versus sitting up.
In particular, sagging in the cheeks or jawline is almost not visible when lying down.
So if the design is done while lying down?
That’s right. In many cases, the area you actually wanted to improve is left untouched, and only the wrong area gets treated.
So please make sure to check in advance whether the clinic does the design while seated.
- Various anesthesia options (safe sleep anesthesia under a specialist)

Honestly, I’ll admit that I really cannot tolerate pain.
Even when I got Thermage, which is relatively less painful than Ultherapy, I screamed, “Aaaah!”
So if you are sensitive to pain like me, I definitely recommend going to a medical institution that offers a variety of anesthesia options.
And in fact, anesthesia is not only for reducing pain, but is also necessary to improve the accuracy of the procedure.
If you move because it hurts during the procedure, the Ultherapy tip may deviate from the correct depth, and if energy is delivered repeatedly to the same point, the risk of burns increases.

Then what anesthesia options are there?
Usually, there are various options ranging from numbing cream to pain-relief injections, local anesthesia, and sleep anesthesia. But to be honest, these alone make it difficult to completely eliminate Ultherapy pain. Ultherapy delivers energy deep into the SMAS layer beneath the skin, so surface anesthesia inevitably has limitations.
So if you really want a pain-free experience, sleep anesthesia is ultimately the answer. (If I get it again next time, I will definitely choose sleep anesthesia.)
But! Sleep anesthesia must be carried out safely under the leadership of a board-certified anesthesiologist, so please make sure to check this as well.

To conclude,
Here, I have shared the three criteria I believe you must look at when searching for an Ultherapy clinic.
| 1) Enough procedure time 2) Design performed while seated 3) Various anesthesia options and a safe system |
These three things may not seem like much, but in fact they are core factors directly tied to the outcome of the procedure.

So if I were looking for an Ultherapy clinic, I would absolutely look for one that meets the three conditions mentioned above.
If a friend or family member asked me? Yes, I would tell them the same three criteria.
Also, the current Vani was created based on the standards of the kind of clinic I would personally want to go to.
“Would I feel safe becoming a patient here myself?”
“Could I bring my family here?”
A place where I can confidently answer “yes” to those questions—that was the kind of hospital I wanted to create.

The July Ultherapy event (300 shots for 690,000 won) is the same.
It is our wish that more people can experience the same level I would want for myself. 😊
I hope today’s post was genuinely helpful in choosing an Ultherapy clinic without failure.
With no exaggeration, only sincerity,
This was Director Lee Mira.
Thank you.
